Idina Menzel on the dating scene: It all sucks

Kristyn Burtt is an LA-based entertainment reporter who has covered everything from 'Dancing With the Stars' to the Oscars. If she’s not on the red carpet, she’s at home in yoga pants watching Netflix and eating potato chips.

"I keep telling myself, because I feel so badly for him, it's better that he's 4 1/2 half than when he's 15,” she explained. "He has two parents that love him very much, and we want to be great moms and dads. At 15 I was too aware, I thought I was an adult, and I got in the middle of everything and I took on the stress for both of them."

The former couple has some challenges ahead since they are working on opposite coasts. She's starring on Broadway in If/Then in New York and Diggs is shooting Murder in the First in California. She said they are doing their best to "figure out a lot of stuff" at this point.

Her ex has also moved on with a new girlfriend, model Amanza Smith. The duo made their red carpet debut at Sunday's BET Awards.
